Apple Co Founder Solves Problem of Lack of MultiTasking and Poor Battery Life on I-Phone

No not Steve Jobs, the other one, Steve Wozniak, affectionately known as "Woz" To quote:-



WOZ: By the way, I solved the problem of battery life and [the lack of] multitasking on the iPhone.
Interviewer: Really?
Woz: Yeah. I just have two iPhones, so if the battery runs down on the first one, I can use the other. And if I'm talking on one, I can use the other one to look something up. You would not believe how much use I get out of that.
